What move would you have not made if you were GM?

Randal El probably got more money than his production deserved...hopefully we got him on the upswing and he proves to be worth the loot down the line. He is the one I worry the most about though.

I agree. But I remind myself that i feel about Antwaan now, how I felt about Santana last year before the season got going. If anything, comparing the two before last season you could argue that Antwaan had more upside. With his special team prowess and Moss' reputation as a malingerer.

I don't see how El could have more upside, he's never had more than 600-some yards a season, moss had a 1100 and 800 yard year before coming here.

At the time, a lot of us were skeptical of the trade. That's my main point. And the injury factor negates the statistical advantage somewhat.

Randle El hype this year vs. Santana Moss hype last year

I'm not convinced Archuleta is worth a contract that makes him the highest paid safety in the league. He isn't even the best safety on his own team, let along the league. I'd rank him in the second tier of safeties actually.

EXoffender · 04-16-2006, 03:59 PM

Archuleta because of the money. Randle El because of lack of upside.

SmootSmack · 04-16-2006, 04:06 PM

Who said Carter? and why?

skinsgt · 04-16-2006, 10:18 PM

I said lloyd but I didn't consider the money that we paid Randle el. I think that that is the least desirable move but i think that they all were pretty good.

And Marcus will be worse if someone actually drafts him.

I would have not signed Archuleta if it allowed us to keep Ryan Clark. Otherwise probably Lloyd because of the uncertainties about him on and off the field.

TheMalcolmConnection · 04-17-2006, 12:47 PM

True. Right now I'm cool with Lloyd just because he seems like he's glad to be part of a winning organization.

I would not have signed Archuleta and thus let Ryan Clark walk. I would have spent a little extra to keep Clark, a solid player, a proven player in the system. I live in St. Louis, so unfortunately I watch too many Rams games. Arch is good at run support and blitzing. He is terrible in space and coverage. He has trouble keeping up with Tight Ends.
